๐Ÿ“ฆ Getting Started: The Smart Way to Unbox

Your First 5 Minutes Matter

When you first open that sleek Samsung box, here's what most people miss:

  1. Remove the pull tab from the top and bottom of the packaging

  2. Lift the top box to reveal your Galaxy Flip

  3. Look for the hidden accessories in the bottom compartment

  4. Remove screen protectors from both front and back displays

๐Ÿ” Quick Tip: Don't throw away that small packaging insert! Your warranty info, quick start guide, and terms are tucked inside there.

โš ๏ธ Important Note: The USB-C cable is included, but you'll need your own charging brick. Samsung no longer includes wall adapters with their phones.

๐Ÿ”ง Essential Setup: Beyond the Basics

Power On and Initial Configuration

  1. Press and hold the power button (located on the right side below volume buttons)

  2. Select your language and press "Start"

  3. Accept terms and conditions (review Samsung's privacy policy)

  4. Choose your setup method: Transfer from old device or manual setup

Multi-Layer Protection

  2. Confirm your PIN

Fingerprint Registration:

  1. Tap "Continue" on fingerprint setup

  2. Place finger on the side button sensor (not the screen!)
